--RHP Matt Capps (right rotator cuff irritation) went on the 15-day disabled list July 17. He had just returned from the DL on July 13 after missing three weeks because of right shoulder inflammation. His MRI on Aug. 13 found no improvement, delaying the start of a throwing program. He might be able to return in late September.

--RHP Carl Pavano (anterior capsular strain in right shoulder) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to June 2, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on July 26. He began a throwing program June 25 by long-tossing. He threw a bullpen session July 22, then threw batting practice July 30. He threw batting practice Aug. 2, and he began a rehab assignment with Class A Fort Myers on Aug. 7. He was scheduled to start for Fort Myers on Aug. 21, but it was pushed back so he could visit orthopedist David Altchek in New York. Altchek diagnosed a bruise on his humerus bone, and the team shut down Pavano for the season.

--RHP Scott Baker (Tommy John surgery in April 2012) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 26, and was transferred to the 60-day DL on April 14. He is out for the season.
